"Revenue collections totaled $1,699 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 (July-September). This figure exceeded collections for the fiscal first quarter of 2013 by $88 million, or 5.4 percent, and exceeded budget estimates for this period by $10.4 million," she stated.

"Last week we announced that preliminary revenue collections for September reflected a year-over-year increase. At the closing of the accounting cycle, we can confirm a 21 percent revenue increase in September 2013 compared to September 2012 and that we exceeded quarterly revenue collection estimates by $10.4 million. These results demonstrate progress on the fiscal stabilization and responsibility measures this administration has taken, and we remain focused on implementing fiscal oversight measures to increase revenue collections," Acosta Febo concluded.
